I just did a clean net install of CentOS 6.4 and when I run virt-manager it says that qemu-kvm is missing, but when I try to install it with yum it says that there isn't a package with that name. Is something wrong with my configuration? Or what is causing this package to appear as not available? Thanks, Dave
Is this install on a 32-bit machine?
It's there for 64-bit, but I don't see it for 32-bit.
- RichardIt's a 32-bit install.
kvm is not supported on 32bit installs in rhel/centos.
Really? Is there a reason why that is the case? Because the hardware supports it and so is it just that the software doesn't support 32-bit? That's kind of surprising because my experience has usually been that if both weren't supported then it was 64 bit that was lacking.
Nowadays you should always install 64 bit. 32 bit is a legacy architecture and should not be used unless you absolutely have no other choice.
Unfortunately, for me that is the case. The laptop I was doing this on (Thinkpad T60) doesn't support x64.
But the "32 bit is legacy" argument seems a bit odd and that's the first time I've heard that. Maybe I'm just a bit out of that loop, but the reason I say that is that before doing this install, I had Fedora 19 on the machine and kvm worked just fine on the machine, so if it really was that "32 bit" wasn't being supported for things like kvm anymore, then why does a "cutting edge" system like Fedora 19 have support for it?
